Rams' Kamren Curl jokingly vows to forgo playing 'Madden' after trailer shows him missing Saquon Barkley
Los Angeles Rams defensive back Kamren Curl joked on Thursday he will forgo playing "Madden NFL 26" after he was shown in the trailer missing a tackle on Saquon Barkley. The Philadelphia Eagles running back was named the cover athlete for this year's EA Sports video game. The trailer showed the video game version of the NFL's reigning Offensive Player of the Year receiving the ball, juking around Curl and leaving the defender in the dust. Curl didn't appear to be too pleased. "Lmao I ain't playing madden this year," he wrote on X with a middle finger emoji, later adding, "Been playing all my life and this how my first time being on the trailer gone be." Barkley is the cover athlete for the first time in his NFL career – and he certainly earned it with the season he had in 2024. The Eagles star ran for 2,005 yards and scored 13 touchdowns on the ground. He also had 33 catches for 278 yards and two touchdowns. He helped the Eagles to a Super Bowl title as well. The photo used on the cover is from his incredible reverse hurdle over a Jacksonville Jaguars defender during the season. Former Eagles star quarterback Donovan McNabb told Fox News Digital that the New York Giants losing Barkley was one of the worst mistakes an NFL team had made in recent history. "They made a real big mistake, and I think it's going to cost them a little bit," McNabb said last week.

Vic Fangio hints at Cooper DeJean playing safety and outside CB to ensure the most snaps
Cooper DeJean was a primary reason the Eagles only lost one game after the Week 5 bye, and the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year finalist is already one of the most versatile defenders in the NFL. After Philadelphia saw Darius Slay (Steelers), Isaiah Rodgers (Vikings), Avonte Maddox (Lions), and James Bradberry (UFA) all exit, there was talk of DeJean moving to the outside cornerback spot opposite Quinyon Mitchell. Back in April, before the NFL draft, Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio told John Clark of NBC Sports that DeJean would remain in the slot. 'I really like him as the nickel. I'd like to see him stay at nickel. He plays it very well. He's got good size in there. I think he enjoys playing in that position.' Advertisement The news means Kelee Ringo, Adoree' Jackson, and Eli Ricks will be among the early contenders to win a competition. On Tuesday, during the start of Week 2 of the Eagles' OTAs, DeJean lined up at multiple positions after Fangio confirmed he'd play outside cornerback and safety to ensure he was on the field for the most snaps. We can confirm that DeJean took snaps at all three cornerback spots, as well as snaps at safety on Tuesday. DeJean logged 51 tackles (38 solo) as a rookie, including 0.5 sacks, one forced fumble, and three fumble recoveries across 16 regular-season games in 2024. DeJean's biggest and best moment came in Super Bowl LIX against the Chiefs, when he picked off Patrick Mahomes for a 38-yard interception return for a touchdown on his birthday.
